GFX Card BSOD Help

Drake5 · 28 Apr 2011 at 15:05

I bought a GFX card from the MM a week or so ago and since I've had it it's caused quite a lot of blue screens.

I've formatted my PC, still getting BSOD's, even tried it in a totally difference PC and I'm still getting BSOD's.

Temps on the card are fine, no overheating.

It will BSOD randomly even if I'm not gaming.

Is this a faulty GFX card?

tried various drivers? because your hardware spec including the PSU are solid.

I'm using the latest drivers, I haven't tried using older drivers. Could it be worth a shot?

Thanks, I'll probably give it a try if it starts to annoy me. It doesn't BSOD constantly it just seems very random.

Might be best just to get another card!

You did say it happens in another build, so it kind of points to the card.

Yeah with it happening in a totally different build aswell that's what makes me think it's the card aswell. Oh well it did only cost £35. Guess you get what you pay for!
